The manuscript containing the story of Beowulf was discovered in England in the l600s. It is written in Old English, the language of the Anglo-Saxon invaders who settled in England between A . D . 450 and 600. There is some debate about when Beowulf was written and who wrote it.
Beowulf is a classical hero, who encompasses strength, bravery, intelligence as well as other characteristics. Sir Gawain also displays these same qualities, but he is a direct example of the chivalric hero. Knights of the chivalric code are noble, loyal, courteous, and chaste, all of which describe Sir Gawain. Beowulfâs bravery is admirable, even more so that he gives most of his credit to God.
